Competition in the modern day business community has become cutting edge and the economic agents have to seek new means of creating competitive advantages. This situation has been brought about by the emergence of numerous important changes, all which generated important impacts upon organizational operations. For instance, the customers are now no longer the people buying what the company is offering, but they have become so powerful that they demand what to be produced and sold

The study of marketing, sales and company ethics has a very diverse foundation of empirical and analytical research ranging from gender- and trait-based analysis to the defining of models that seek to capture the dynamics that create ethical paradoxes and drive decision-making in organizations. In the research completed and presented in the article A Framework For Personal Selling and Sales Management Ethical Decision Making (Ferrell, Johnston, Ferrell, 2007) the authors carefully analyze trait-based and situational ethics theories and previous research. The first sections of this well-written and researched article illustrate that trait theories alone cannot explain the spectrum of ethics within sales and marketing departments and their decision-making processes, or provide insights into corporate cultural mindsets with regard to ethics. What the authors do however in this initial section of the article is frame up the foundation of their model, A Framework For Selling And Sales Management Decision Making (Ferrell, Johnston, Ferrell, 2007). This model captures the paradoxical nature of ethics by showing how organizational culture, sales activity, ethical issue intensity (perceived and actual) and ethics decisions are dependent on both the sales ethical climate and individual factors of a business (Ferrell, Johnston, Ferrell, 2007). All of these factors are taken into account in defining the evaluation of outcomes. What is missing from this model is a contextual component that the authors only speak to, yet don't include as a component in the overall model. Contextual reference could have been added as a core foundational element or created as an overarching module that unifies the entire model. Figure 1, A Framework of Selling and Sales Management Ethical Decision Making is shown, illustrating the integration of concepts the authors make reference to.
